德州州长 Abbott 赞扬执法部门逮捕涉恐袭图谋少年：被指图谋刺杀众议员 Keith Self
位于美国德克萨斯州 Collin 县的 McKinney 市一名 17 岁少年，因涉嫌图谋刺杀联邦众议员 Keith Self 并为极端组织「伊斯兰国」（ISIS）在北德州实施恐怖袭击，已被联邦执法部门逮捕。德州州长 Greg Abbott 10 月 22 日发表声明，赞扬执法部门在此案中的行动。
据 WFAA 援引联邦执法消息人士报道，该少年近期受网上 ISIS 宣传影响，联邦探员此前已在监视他；他取得一支枪支后，探员于 10 月 5 日将其逮捕。少年身份未公开，目前仍处于联邦羁押，联邦检方正考虑是否寻求按成年人起诉。据报道，被指图谋的袭击目标包括 Self 原定 10 月 17 日在 McKinney 一处活动中的公开露面，另有一项北德州恐袭图谋。
Keith Self 是德州第 3 国会选区联邦众议员，也是国会「无伊斯兰教法美国」核心小组（Sharia-Free America Caucus）的共同创办人。他在社交平台 X 上表示：「我感谢 FBI 和执法部门制止了这一威胁。我和家人都安全，我将继续专注于为德州第 3 选区民众服务。」他还表示：「维护我们的宪政共和国免受激进伊斯兰侵害，意味着接受随之而来的代价，包括辱骂、威胁乃至更糟的情况。这只会坚定我的决心，我不会退缩。」
州长办公室的声明标题为「州长 Abbott 赞扬执法部门在针对众议员 Self 的伊斯兰恐袭图谋中的逮捕行动」。Abbott 表示，德州公共安全部（DPS）将继续与联邦执法部门协作。
Texas Governor Abbott Praises Arrest in Alleged Terror Plot Against Rep. Keith Self
A 17-year-old boy from McKinney, a city in Collin County, Texas, has been arrested by federal law enforcement on allegations that he plotted to assassinate U.S. Representative Keith Self and to carry out a terrorist attack in North Texas on behalf of the Islamic State group, ISIS. Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Oct. 22 issued a statement praising law enforcement for the arrest.
According to WFAA, citing federal law enforcement sources, the teenager had recently been radicalized by ISIS material online and was being monitored by federal agents; he was arrested on Oct. 5 after he acquired a firearm. The juvenile, whose name has not been released, remains in federal custody, and federal prosecutors are weighing whether to seek adult charges. The alleged plot reportedly targeted a public appearance by Self in McKinney on Oct. 17, along with a separate planned attack in North Texas.
Self, who represents Texas's 3rd Congressional District and co-founded the Sharia-Free America Caucus, wrote on X: "I am grateful to the FBI and law enforcement for stopping this threat. My family and I are safe, and I remain focused on serving the people of Texas' 3rd District." He added: "Preserving our constitutional republic from radical Islam means accepting the costs that come with it - name-calling, threats, and worse. This only strengthens my resolve. I will not back down."
The governor's office titled its release "Governor Abbott Praises Law Enforcement Arrest In Islamic Terror Plot Against Congressman Self." Abbott said the Texas Department of Public Safety will continue working with federal law enforcement.
